First [Video/Action for Mahogany Town]

[lionedace]

Ah, excuse me...is this thing even on? [He taps the receiver a couple times, looking a bit frustrated as he tries to make sure its active. Technology was never really his big thing, though he did try to keep himself up to date. For those with an astute knowledge in the region, it was clear that Ace was in Mahogany Town.] I'm sorry, but I think I

[of course. of course ace would show up. all of snake's surprise had been exhausted the moment he showed up, and he would be a lot more upset... if the last time he saw this man wasn't in the backseat of a car, tied up and pretty much helpless.

still, he's keeping a careful, polite distance. his voice is calm, but sharp:]

Ah. Isn't that a familiar voice?

["We're going to...burn to death...together."

No. No. No No No No No No No!]

You...

--What do you want from me!?

[He shouted out frantically, almost dropping the receiver out of fear. The monster was here. The monster that sent him to hell. Was he really in hell then!?]

Johto. You may be here for awhile.

[video]

[lionedace]

...And how long is "a while"? Any estimation for how long they intend to keep me here?

[video]

[restardom]

I've been here for a year, it kinda differs.

[video]

[lionedace]

A year [Give him a moment to digest that thought. Dear god, he doesn't want to be here for a year.] This is...this is really giving me a bad headache.

Welcome to Johto, Mister!

*Hayate gives a friendly wave, while a significantly larger dog-- his Arcanine-- watches over his shoulder* You should get used to the fire thing, since as they get stronger they can spit out more and more fire.

[lionedace]

[He does notice the Arcanine and, while he can't really tell the difference between the Growlithe and the larger dog, the pattern of what he can see makes him wonder if the larger creature is some kind of adult form of the Growlithe.]

Really now? This creature sounds really dangerous.

[combat_butler]

Only if you mistreat them, and to those who mistreat you! They're incredibly loyal once you've bonded with them a bit.

*He reaches up behind him to scratch Hina a bit under the chin, as she lets out a quiet "Niiiiine" at the attention.*

[video]

[lionedace]

[His own Growlithe barks, almost in agreement, and Ace nods.] Like any animal would. I see now. [Well if he wants this thing to do what he wants, he'll have to be a good owner.] My apologies, I did just...arrive here. [Wherever 'here' is. All he knows its some place called Johto.]

[video]

[complexrestart]

You are in Johto, sir. The dog you have is called a Growlithe, which is a pokémon.

[video]

[lionedace]

[Another little girl? How many kids are in this region?]

So I've heard. I've never seen a creature quite like it.

[video]

[complexrestart]

Mii. I hadn't either until I arrived here. However, there are pokémon that are more strange-looking than that one.

[video]

[lionedace]

Oh my. That sounds discouraging. Is there any way for me to tell their names without constantly asking people?

[nokemenma]

Welcome to Johto...!

[lionedace]

Thank you, young lady. Even if I honestly would rather not be here. [Because waking up and meeting people that pretty much hate your guts is totally fun.]

[nokemenma]

Ah--you might be able to go home really soon, though!

[lionedace]

Really? [Does she know the way out?] Why do you say that?
